Marius Hornberger has created an adjustable miter fence which can be used with a range of machine tools to position a workpiece at a precise angle to the cutting plane.
Starting with a runner that fits into a T-slot, the fence uses an expanding mechanism to ensure a tight fit and prevent rattling during use.
The angle of the fence is adjustable with clicks every 0.5 degrees, with a fine-tuning vernier scale for more precise adjustments.
The design includes a robust locking mechanism to ensure that the fence does not move during use, and a slide lock that grips the T-slot to keep it fixed in place along the length of the machine.
The meteorologist Stefan Gotteswinter, who is also a machining expert, has endorsed the tool for its originality and precision.
Marius has previously been featured on Hackaday for other custom tools he has made, including a modified drill press and a homemade CNC router.
